The Mickey Mouse Theater

Tune in to the 1938 Mickey Mouse Theater of the Air!

Found on www.archive.org. Thanks to Per Starbäck who mentioned it on Facebook.

That really sounds like Walt.. a very early Walt. But that Goofy.. It doesn't sound like Colvig? Is it Colvig or is it someone else, and if that's the case... who?

It sounds like it's Adriana Caselotti singing... But I am not sure... It could very well be two girls.. one talking and one singing (the soundtrack from the movie?)

It's hard to say really... All the voices are just a tad bit distorted..

But you can't mistake Harry Stockwell for anyone else at least.. :-)


Well... My tip for this New Year.. Do not listen to this radio show while simultaneously browsing the Deviantart galleries with the search criteria "Disney"... ;-)

Happy New Year!

If you follow the Archive.org link provided, you get info about the show:
Music for the program was provided by the Felix Mills Orchestra, Donald Duck's Swing Band, and The Minnie Mouse Woodland Choir. The opening theme was "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?". John Hiestan was the announcer for this Sunday afternoon show, and it featured regular Disney characters like Mickey Mouse (Walt Disney for the first four episodes), Donald Duck (Clarence Nash), Minnie Mouse (Thelma Boardman), Goofy (Stuart Buchanan), and Clarabelle Cow (Florence Gill).
